Answer 1

The two correct answers that imply something terrible has happened offscreen are:

1. a reaction shot showing onlookers’ expressions immediately after the event - This conveys the impact of the terrible event through the reactions of those witnessing it.

2. a swell of dramatic music - Dramatic music can create tension and imply that something severe or tragic has occurred, even if it is not shown on screen.

These techniques effectively suggest that something significant has happened without explicitly showing it.
